Nemesis, River Cafe, London, England

Serving artisanal Italian delicacies, The River Cafe at London, enjoys its legacy as one of London’s most sought-after dining spots. The restaurant is located on the north bank of the Thames in Hammersmith, in the former Duckhams oil storage facility. The River Cafe menu changes twice daily for optimum freshness. Signature dishes include: wild mushroom risotto; Dover sole and John Dory smoked in the restaurant’s own wood stove; and rich Italian desserts including lemon almond cake and the chocolate “Nemesis” cake. Nemesis cake is the cafe’s signature dessert made of chocolate. It has a slight crust on top and gains its richness from a staggering quantity of chocolate.
